An Unbeliever (as hath been showed) hath nothing to do with promises, nor with Christ the fulfiller of promises, and therefore he is ever in doubt, when he is in want; and saith, Where is it? He knows not whither to go, nor to whom for the supply of his wants. A wicked man is never in his way, and, in one sense, he is never out of his way. They may go any where, who know not whither to go. They are never out of their way, who have no home. East, West, North, or South, it is all one to them; which way the Staff falls, they go, they have no rule nor line to go by; but though a wicked man know not his particular way, yet he often knows his general end, and that is misery, as the next words tell us.

He knowes the day of darknesse is ready at hand.
At the 22. Verse, He believes not that he shall return out of darkness; that is (as was opened) in case he falls into evil, he thinks he shall never get out of it; he hath no faith that he shall recover out of trouble, but he hath a strong faith, that he shall fall into trouble: He knows that the day of darkness is ready at hand:
